“When times are tough most people fret, worry, get angry or depressed. They dwell on the bad and stress out. The either fight what is going on or give up. Whenever you fight what IS you are bound to lose. Imagine fighting a hurricane or tornado. STOP!

Turn your attention from the negative. Seek shelter in the positive and the good. Turn toward the people you love and spend time loving them and being loved. STOP complaining and blaming and being agitated. Find delights you enjoy and enjoy them. Do this!

Accentuate the positive. The turbulence will be there as long as it is there. The time will come when it will end. STOP being busy fighting it. Become productive. Build the new and good you want. Don’t waste time tearing the old down. Others will do that for you.

The Mind Is As Strong As Its Weakest Think – Mindset Matters

Concentrate on thinking better and feeling better. Inspire others and yourself. Find the good moments and emphasize them. Put your attention in positive places. You will develop a more clear head.

Keep the faith. Maintain the attitude that it will all work out for the best, even though you may not know how. Keep the faith. Remain lighthearted and carefree. You’ll think and feel better. You will discover your resourcefulness. Speak only to bless, heal and prosper. Become grateful and find the blessings in all. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

“Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated,” Confucius. Happiness researcher, Brett Ford from Cal State Berkeley states, “Part of the reason that wanting to be happy backfires in the U.S. is that people get down on themselves.”

Stop! Celebrate yourself! Stop getting down on yourself. Stop contributing to problems and start celebrating and having fun. If you want to be happy and you want to be happy ALL the time then you want to find something/s to be happy about ALL the time!

Practice gratitude! Look for the blessings everywhere, every moment. Discover what is good and new! Smile and laugh more. Any moment, every second. you can find and choose scores of things to be happy about. You just have to look. Then, look again. Find it!

The More We Do The More We Can Do – Celebrate And Enjoy

Develop your ability to scan for the good. STOP looking at the not so good and LOOK to the good! It is there. It may be hidden, but it is there. There is so much to be thankful for, but sadly, so many people miss it because they focus on what is wrong. Focus on what’s right.

From chaos stars are born. In adversity you can find opportunity. No matter how bad things SEEM, you can always find something to be grateful about! Similar to the man complaining about not having shoes. He stopped when he saw a man without legs. Get it?

YOU can ALWAYS find something that makes you smile and feel better about. You can ALWAYS find something, small or large to be happy about and grateful for. Concentrate on these things! THIS IS HOW YOU CHANGE! MAKE IT A HABIT and everything can become different! Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

“Sadly, people want to be happy. They think if they have another brighter, shinier object it will make them happy. If they get an award or a promotion they will somehow be better and consequently be happier. More of something elusive is what they think will work.

It doesn’t and it won’t. From most all reports through eons of time having more, or accomplishing, much isn’t the base of lasting or true happiness. So, what is if you can’t become happy this way? True happiness comes from a sense of being happiness right now.

Humans become dissatisfied with what they want. The shiny object becomes dull in time and so we want more. We seek something else to fulfill us. This becomes an endless pursuit. It seems we are only happy when we have something new and better to brag about.

You Are Where Your Thoughts Have Brought You

Since these feelings of satisfaction and happiness come and go, is there something one can do that is more permanent or longer lasting? Yes, is the answer. Start living in the present moment and appreciate what you already have. Be happy now. Right now!

Some people complain they don’t know how. That is because they have practiced being happy through accumulation. It is time to practice being happy for who you are and for what you have right now. Recognize the good in your life. Notice and become aware of it.

It is not just things. It is who you are and how you feel. It is the people in your life. It is the circumstances surrounding you. It is the moment right now. It is the beauty of the earth right now, today, that matters. Stop seeking and start being. That makes the difference.

The More We Do The More We Are Capable Of Doing

Stop wanting to be happy and start accepting the now. Look for the good in you and all around you. Discover that blessings abound. Stop putting off for tomorrow what you have today. Stop making your conception of happiness an ideal. It isn’t a thing to have. Get it?

Happiness isn’t some state you enter. Happiness is a process and a choice. You won’t always feel blissful. You don’t have to either. People get screwed up by their definitions of happiness. They miss it because of what they think it means and what it is. It is a thing!

Happiness is not the absence of everything else that isn’t happiness. Happiness is a process. It is a sense of well-being. It is contentment. Happiness is emphasizing the good. Energy flows where your attention goes. Stop pursuing a thing. Be in a process. Be in flow.

Skill Comes From Doing – Repetition Is The Mother Of Skill

The river isn’t static. It is moving, flowing. Life flows and changes. We feel differently from time to time. Happiness is a choice not a thing! It is a decision as to where you place your attention and what you determine to focus on. The goal is to feel the best you are able.

This doesn’t mean you always need to be amped up and a ten on the glee meter. It means you feel a bit better than a moment ago. If you are down and out you do whatever is necessary to feel a bit better. You move yourself in a more positive and optimistic direction.

Drop by drop the tub fills. It needn’t be now or never. All of life is process. Accept it. Tides come and go. Feelings ebb. Allow for changes while steering your boat in the river of life. Go with the current but steer away from the rocks. Navigate and enjoy.

You Get What You Focus On – What You Focus On Expands

The easiest way to be happy is to appreciate the moment. Feel grateful and accentuate the positive. You don’t ignore the negative or problems but you place them safely within context and don’t let them run you. You focus on what is good and delightful. Get it?

You choose to be bigger than any obstacle and you determine to live as a champion. You focus on what you can and will do. You focus on that, which right now, is good. Fill your mind and being with wonder and awe and delight for what is YOU this moment! Tend to the beauty of the garden even while weeding it. Be happy and you will do and have more happiness. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

“Don’t wait for anyone else to do it for you. You must act and make your own life great. As I said, ‘the calvary ain’t coming!’ No one but you can do it for you. Nothing in the outer world needs to change for you to make your dreams begin to come true. You need to change.

If you want your life to change you need to change things in your life. If you want different results stop doing what you habitually do and begin to do new positive, productive, powerful things that make the difference. First, create a list. Create a list of all the good things.

Write down all the things you like about your life. Write down those things you are grateful for. Put down on paper everything you love and enjoy. Focus on these. Make these the center of attention. Concentrate on these often. Never complain. Never whine.

What You Focus On Expands – You Get What You Focus On

Speak and think only to bless, heal and prosper. Center your attention on all these good things. Keep your focus there. Your energy will change. The more good energy you get the more you produce as your remained focused. This is how to claim power!

Transform yourself. Begin with the inside of your head and your outer world will follow. Begin today. Stop waiting. Stop continuing down less than glorious paths. Tap into you positive and powerful energy. Become enthused and optimistic. Release your joy and everything begins to change! Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

“Indian mystic Narada was off to see god. As he journeyed he played his veena, a stringed instrument. In the midst of a forest he encountered an aged monk sitting against a tree. The old monk asked Narada to ask god a question when Narada saw him.

‘Please tell him I have been making great efforts for three lives now. When, oh when, will he see fit to allow me to be enlightened and free?’ Narada agreed that he would ask and continued on his journey to meet up with god.

Turning a bend in the forest path he found, under another tree, a young man dancing and singing. Narada, being a man of humor, asked the young man, ‘Would you like to ask god a question?’ The young man kept dancing. He didn’t reply. Narada thought he’s deaf.

Trust And Let Go – Celebrate Everything – Be Grateful And Play

He asked again. The young man continued to dance, sing and play on his ektara as if he had not heard. Narada journeyed on. After a few days he returned. Seeing the old monk again, against the tree, he told him god’s news. ‘He said, ‘three more lives.’ The old monk raged.

He got so angry he shook his fists at the sky, threw down his scriptures and prayer beads and exclaimed, ‘this is too much! Three more lives! So unfair!’ Leaving him Narada again encountered the young dancing and singing man. He continued to dance and sing.

‘Although you did not ask, I asked god for you. How many more lives will this young man have to live before his liberation? God replied, ‘tell him he will have to be born and lead as many lives as there are leaves on the tree he dances under. ‘ The young man danced more.

Drop And Release The Old Limitations And Become Totally New

He danced more enthusiastically! He seemed in ecstasy. ‘Really, so few? So fast? There are so many trees in all the world and I only have to live this many more lives? Next time you go to see god give him my thanks!’ It is said the young man became enlightened right then!

“Sometimes it seems things aren’t happening as much or in the way that I would like. My dream career, my ideal job, my true love, that fantastic car or home, lot’s of money, being debt free seem so far away. Problems and issues loom. What’s going on? Ever asked that?

Neville Goddard, makes a most important point that we all should remember. Keep it in mind. Thought leaders from ancient to modern times promote and reinforce this idea. Once you begin to master the concept everything begins to change. Keep the faith and work it.

Mind set truly is everything. How we manage our thoughts, shapes our present and our future. It is how we relate to the past. Our thought is what moves us forward or keeps us stuck. It is why Ford said, ‘If you think you can or you think you can’t, you are right.’

You Are Already Everything You Want To Be …

‘Disregard appearances, condition, in fact all evidence of your senses that deny the fulfillment of your desire. Rest in the assumption that you are already what you want to be, for in that determined assumption, you and your infinite being are merged in

creative unity, and with your infinite being, all things are possible.’ – Neville Goddard. It is the skill we must master. We must stop getting caught up in how things presently appear to us. We never see the complete picture so we always operate on partial information!

We must ‘rest in the assumption that you are ALREADY what you want to be’. That is where our power stems from. We are already what we want to be, we already have everything. Even when it appears we aren’t or don’t. THAT is where the power is. In YOU!

… And You Are On The Path To Discovering Yourself

Now! BUT you, and I and everyone, miss it because we are focused on the wrong things, in the wrong direction, most of the time. We become what we think about, and we think about crap mostly. In order to live the life we want, we need to shift our mindset.

We need to shift our attention. That is why gratitude works. We focus on being grateful for what we already are, and have. Get it? If you let thoughts stop you from being who you are, and can discover, that’s sad. Yet that is what most everyone does. Discover yourself.

Say yes! Be grateful! Enjoy! Focus on already being, doing, and having everything you want. Express your gratitude. Most likely, it isn’t going to transform everything for you overnight, BUT it can and could. I remind you of this because it is a journey. It’s not a flash and puff of smoke magical appearance. So enjoy and delight. Remember who you are and celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

“Worry is thinking about what you don’t want to happen. Whatever you focus on and spend time on is what you end up getting more back of. It means most of your time is spent on negative things not working out, instead of on solutions and making solutions happen.

You are programming your mind when you worry. You are programming your mind when you focus on the positive. Either way you get what you focus on. You plan for it. You plan for the worst, or you plan for the best. Get it? It is how you use your mind. It matters!

It is always a choice. Even though, for some people, it doesn’t seem like a choice. One of the best ways to counteract worry is through gratitude. Gratitude can, and does, change everything! When you begin to appreciate anything and everything, everything changes.

Whether You Think You Can Or You Think You Can’t You’re Right

Your thoughts and feelings change. Your energy changes. Your behaviors change. When you are able to find the sliver lining or the golden nuggets in all situations, you transform yourself from one who worries and attracts negativity to one who is positive.

You go from in-effective to effective. You get ‘at cause’. You take charge and no longer let unconscious habits run you. You create a new habit of positivity, power and solution focused thinking. Not only that, but you win because YOU did it. Learn how to do it! Then do it! Then celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes
